After leaving Liu Ruolan, Chen Lin encountered no further danger and finally reached his destination, the edge of a valley.
The map marked this place as Falling Spirit Valley, meaning the place where a spirit treasure had fallen.
At present, however, there was no sign of any spirit treasure. The energy throughout the area was violently turbulent, with space rifts appearing amid it. The slightest misstep could mean death.
Chen Lin did not dare enter directly either, but he had come prepared.
First, he surveyed the perimeter, then found a high, well-concealed spot and hid there.
Next, he took out a Foundation Establishment Puppet and a new Crow Puppet. After pairing them together, he directed them into the area of turbulent energy.
He had refined many Crow Puppets in advance for this expedition, but they were too fragile. Each needed a Foundation Establishment Puppet to protect it with an energy barrier, or the raging energy would tear it apart the moment it entered.
Once the puppet pair went inside, Chen Lin lay motionless where he was, observing the situation through the Crow Puppet's vision.
To his surprise, however, shortly after the pair entered, a streak of milky-white light appeared in his view. The Foundation Establishment Puppet was a little too slow to dodge and was struck by the white light.
